The Stieg Larsson trilogy has special low prices for ebooks versions at Gyldendal (90 DKK ~ $15), the paperback version costs around 120 DKK (~$21) - I think that's ordinary paper-back price... not 100% sure. You can guess I hardly ever buy books in Denmark at ordinary retail price

An example of a newly published book is "Sumobrødre": hardcover: 199 DKK ~$35 , e-book: 289 DKK ~ $50 (it's not yet out in paperback). Prices are incl. 25% VAT. I think that's one of the worst cases. If they matched the hardcover price, that would be more reasonable. Gyldendal is a publisher BTW (with their own Internet store). A re-seller, saxo.com is selling at cost price because they think e-books are too expensive.
